History
The shrine's origins are said to date back to 1087 CE (Kanchi 1), when Yamashita Hisanana visited Ise Jingu, received a branch spirit, and erected a temporary shrine on this site. The current worship hall (haiden) was built in 1831 CE (Tenpō 2), while the main hall (honden) and the offering hall (heiden) were constructed in 1888 CE (Meiji 21). The shrine buildings were repaired in 1926 CE (Taishō 15), and the shrine was designated as a village shrine in 1927 CE (Shōwa 2).
